    Hark's 2017

    I haven't posted too many of my photos this year. Here are a couple of eclipse shots (also shown in one of the eclipse threads). At times the sun was completely covered...by clouds! ;) And here is a screen shot of a NEF showing my church building taken when an enormous cloud rolled by...

    Nikon School Online

    This popped up in my Facebook news feed today. Back in the late 1990's, I attended one of the Nikon School one-day seminars in Philadelphia. It was very interesting and informative--and they showed LOTS of magnificent slides! ;) Has anyone taken any of these classes, or are they relatively new...

    D610 brown lines issue

    I used to photograph my local high school's drama productions. One night they showed a video so I took photos of the video. I wound up coming here to ask what caused the effect--it was from the fluorescent lights that were in video! The colors varied between green, purple, and pink, and shades...

    D610 brown lines issue

    Trying to see if I can add it to the forum as a link instead of an attachment. So is the brown line on the left side of the photo in the middle to below the middle? What I"m seeing isn't a line per se, but more of a section that appears to be slightly warmer than the rest of the photo. Is that...

    Who's going to shoot the Total Eclipse?

    It was immensely cloudy here although they weren't calling for clouds when I looked at the forecast yesterday. :( So it was hit and miss because at times the sun was completely covered in clouds. No glow on the horizon which is what I was hoping for. The initial settings I dialed in didn't do me...

    Post your Moths & Butterflies

    We don't get many butterflies in our yard because we don't have the types of flowers that attract them. So when this one showed up, I was really surprised. It landed on the rear door of my SUV. The mailman happened to stop and leave mail so I went inside and got him a bottle of water. When I...

    Smart Objects: when to convert?

    For those who use Photoshop, when do you convert your layer(s) to smart objects? Every time you make adjustments in Photoshop? I know there is a way to link images together and apply changes to all of them at the same time (which I'm not interested in doing right now). But the idea that the...

    Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-f/4.5 ?

    I love mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It isn't weather sealed, but in comparison to the 20mm...well...there is no comparison! It has more color and contrast than the 20mm plus I found it to be sharper. Seriously, it is fantastic! Although not quite as fast, it's amazing. It is extremely light weight...

    Canon Photo Contest

    CBS in New York is sponsoring a B&H photo contest to win a $2,500 gift card for Canon gear. Nikon owners could always sell the gift card or buy the Canon stuff and sell it. ;) Would be nice if they offered a Nikon contest though.... WCBS 880 Then & Now « CBS New York

    What's Up With This?

    Yes but it still shows up. Am guessing it was just some type of glitch because I went out around noon today and took a few images. Everything seems normal now.

    What's Up With This?

    This afternoon I took a few photos with my D7100 near the river then transferred them to my computer when I got home. Slot 1 is NEF while slot 2 is jpeg. This is what I saw when looking at large icons in their respective folders: NEF folder jpeg folder Nothing appears out of the ordinary so...

    K2 or possibly K3 focusing screen

    Any idea where to get either a K2 (first choice) or a B2 (second choice) focusing screen for an FM2n? I know some screens will require an exposure adjustment to compensate for being brighter which is why I'm only looking for one of these.

    Hark's 2017

    Here are a few from yesterday. Septa (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) knocked down the old train platforms plus is building a new above ground walkway to get from one side of the tracks to the other. Many years ago they installed an underground tunnel which quickly became an...

    Post your latest purchases.

    I believe I have finally found a carbon fiber tripod that meets all my expectations. My Benro just doesn't go tall enough for some of my needs. I've had a Gitzo 2 series tall/long aluminum tripod that I love and really wanted something comparable in carbon fiber. My 20 year old Bogen-Manfrotto...

    Oh no, getting an Err when shooting

    I was experiencing this almost every day on the first shutter actuation only. Except when I've been in full manual. So now I start out in full manual (no Auto ISO) then switch to Aperture Priority. I'm under the impression it's more of a software glitch based on what I've experienced rather than...

    The Today Show posted a video with some unique senior portrait photos that are raising the bar. Quote from the video: Times have changed. Families are now willing to pay $2k to $3k and sometimes more for a stand-out collection.... There are some incredible images shown. :encouragement...

    Looking for a new custom calendar.

    For some reason the quote feature isn't working for me. @cwgrizz mentioned I've been making calendars. This current year (2017) was the first calendar I made as a fund raiser for church. I followed these directions and made my own from scratch because I couldn't find any of the templates that...

    Question about crows

    This is not a photography question which is why I'm posting here. In general, are crows predatory birds? I know they will raid trash and eat garbage, but do they customarily kill other birds or break bird eggs? This started out with both of my dogs getting sick and/or eating stuff at one spot...
